Mystery Lanarkshire Lotto winner scoops £10k a month
A mystery man from Lanarkshire is quids in after winning £10,000 a month for a year on the National Lottery.
The lucky man – known only as Mr W – won the life-changing prize by matching the five main numbers in the Set For Life draw on Monday, July 6.
And who knows, the lucky winner could be a resident and a neighbour from the East Kilbride or Strathaven areas.
He celebrated his fantastic win by splashing the cash on a swimming pool for his holiday home.

He added: “After a few simple clicks he can now look forward to receiving £10,000 every month for a year and enjoy the new pool at his holiday home.”
